Episode #111
The owner of a rare 19th-century block-printed Persian tapestry, brought to ANTIQUES ROADSHOW in Richmond, Virginia, in 1998 and valued at $3,000 to $5,000, tells correspondent Clay Reynolds what the unusual textile inspired her to do. Fine arts conservator Steven Tatti shows Clay how the alchemy of science, craftsmanship and artistry can restore damaged works of art; appraiser Simeon Lipman explains why sports photography is one of the hottest categories of sports collectibles; and Clay gets a cook's tour of kitchen collectibles – including an unrivaled assortment of antique food molds – from respected authorities Marilyn and Sheila Brass. Finally, from the depths of the New York City subway system comes the case of the missing ceramic tiles, told by expert Suzanne Perrault. Commissioned for the walls of the IRT line in 1904, many of the panels have since gone missing to renovation and/or looting and would bring a hefty sum if they were ever returned.
